           Summary: No documentation on how to use preload and
                    preload-kmps correctly
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.3
           Version: Factory
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Bootloader
        AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com
        ReportedBy: knikanth@novell.com
         QAContact: jsrain@novell.com
          Found By: Development
           Blocker: ---

No man page found in the package. Nor any pointer to the upstream URL.

Its seemed to be doing more bad than good on my openSUSE 11.2 machine where the
machine kept on doing I/O after boot on an instance. Found preload to be the
culprit. Killing preload worked.

rpm -qi says
Preload lists files to load into the system cache. This shortens system boot
time if used correctly.

But no pointer to how to use it correctly, nor documentation to how it works.
